[12:13:09] <nullie> Hello. I have Micro V3 gantry, it uses 2 motors for X axis. Something wrong with the config, only one motor works when I try to home X axis
[12:14:17] <jthornton> how did you connect the two motors?
[12:14:55] <nullie> they are on different axis of controller
[12:16:31] <nullie> config has something to connect two axii, but somehow it doesn't seem to work
[12:17:09] <nullie> setp gantrykins.joint-6 0
[12:18:17] <jthornton> when you jog only one motor moves?
[12:18:28] <nullie> yes
[12:19:23] <jthornton> did you use stepper-gantry configuration as your starting point?
[12:19:56] <nullie> I use config from lumenlabs site
[12:21:19] <jthornton> link?

[12:25:11] <jthornton> how is the physical wiring done? one plug, many wires?
[12:25:57] <jthornton> #this is a beta release .hal file for micRo v3 with syncRo v3 and home switches
[12:25:59] <jthornton> #please report any problems to support@lumenlab.com or www.lumenlab.com/forums
[12:26:00] <nullie> wiring is ok, when I attach different axis to this output, it works
[12:26:29] * fragalot has always wondered how 2 stepper motors could cooperate alongside eachother without the use of an encoder :/
[12:27:11] <cpresser> basically not a problem, as long as you dont loose steps :)
[12:27:15] <Loetmichel> fragalot: not a problem
[12:27:27] <fragalot> not even in it's initial "I have nfc where I am" state?
[12:27:47] <Loetmichel> but you should have a connection between the two with at least 2 steps "slack"
[12:28:01] <fragalot> Loetmichel: figured as much
[12:28:08] <jthornton> nullie: when you connect a different motor to X2 it works?
[12:28:43] <Loetmichel> fragalot: made it this way on my last machine:
[12:29:27] <Loetmichel> (searcehing the fotos, moment)
[12:29:34] <fragalot> jthornton: I think he means when he configures another axis to use that motor it works
[12:29:37] <fragalot> Loetmichel: k
[12:29:42] <nullie> jthornton, no, when I change config to connect Z to X2 output, that motor works
[12:29:48] * fragalot wins

[12:30:43] <fragalot> That is.. uhm. shiny.
[12:31:17] * jthornton reads back and wonders about this line in the ini file this is a beta release .ini file for micRo v3 with no home switches
[12:31:33] <fragalot> Loetmichel: is that with 2 steppers, or 1 stepper & 2 drive shafts?
[12:31:41] <Loetmichel> 2 steppers
[12:32:03] <Loetmichel> but on the same output pins
[12:32:10] <nullie> hm
[12:32:19] <fragalot> right
[12:33:20] <nullie> oh, I found the problem
[12:33:41] <nullie> "If in the View tab, you have the Joint Mode toggled on, when you try to move the X axis by clicking/holding the (+) or (-), only one of the X stepper motors will run, causing the Y carriage to misalign"
[12:33:44] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=4591 <- same machine front
[12:33:53] <fragalot> nullie: >.< oops
[12:34:29] <fragalot> Loetmichel: i'm assuming there are bits missing under the machine table? (looks like it'd flex a lot otherwise :p)
[12:34:59] <Loetmichel> ?
[12:35:01] <Loetmichel> no
[12:35:04] <fragalot> that aluminium slab
[12:35:13] <fragalot> looks like it spans quite a large distance :/
[12:35:30] <Loetmichel> 1500*1020*160mm travel
[12:35:47] * cpresser was thinking the same. doesnt it bend to much under its own weight?
[12:36:02] <Loetmichel> fragalot: the machine table inside:
http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=4053
[12:36:05] <fragalot> I just expected the table to bow a little bit on an unsupported span that long
[12:36:14] <Loetmichel> there is NO flexing!
[12:36:14] <fragalot> Aah, so it IS supported.
[12:36:37] <Loetmichel> not even a thou
[12:36:54] <fragalot> the machine I bought (tiny desktop) doesn't flex either... but it's got shitloads of play & a .2mm misalignment to compensate for that.
[12:36:57] <fragalot> >.>
[12:38:47] <Loetmichel> that are aboput 300kg if a Plywood called "siebdruckplatte", which is like "normal plywood" but more thinner sheets of wood and a resin as adhesive, not wood glue
[12:39:36] <Loetmichel> so the "wood" is water resistant and doesent gets thicker if in contact with water
[12:39:44] <fragalot> what cpresser and me were talking about was the (looks like) aluminium in the top left of the picture you linked earlier
[12:39:59] <Loetmichel> which one?
[12:40:05] <fragalot> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=4591
[12:40:20] <Loetmichel> HIHI
[12:40:24] <fragalot> :P
[12:40:26] <Loetmichel> that was the workpiece
[12:40:37] <Loetmichel> the machine stats at the stepper motors
[12:40:37] <fragalot> makes sense, lol
[12:40:43] <cpresser> :D
[12:41:00] <Loetmichel> 12mm thick sheet 2900mm*900mm carbon fibre
[12:41:44] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=4588 <- better look at it
[12:41:46] <fragalot> Nice, heard those things are damn hard to find
[12:41:51] <cpresser> its quite interesting to see that different people all use a similar technique when working with huge parts. i also shift my workpieces along the x-axis throught te mill :)
[12:41:57] <Loetmichel> was the first workpiece for this machine
[12:42:30] <fragalot> cpresser: Is there another technique on a gantry mill?
[12:42:43] <cpresser> not one i am aware of
[12:42:45] -!-
mhaberler [mhaberler!~mhaberler@imac.stiwoll.mah.priv.at] has joined #emc
[12:43:01] <cpresser> perhaps gettin a bigger mill :)
[12:43:01] <fragalot> last huge parts I saw people work on on my summer job was along the Y axis... not that that makes any difference at all, lol
[12:43:09] <fragalot> cpresser: or a hexapod mill!
[12:43:10] <fragalot> :3
[12:43:36] <Loetmichel> that was a machin i buildt for my last employer
[12:43:37] <syyl_> or a mobile mill, which can be mounted on the part to be machined
[12:43:38] <syyl_> :)
[12:43:50] <cpresser> similar setup:
http://ca.rstenpresser.de/~cpresser/tmp/pictures/unsorted/aussenwerbung/fertigung.jpg
[12:43:51] <Loetmichel> now i have only left my little one
[12:43:56] <fragalot> syyl_: the hexapod i'm referring to is a mobile one :P
[12:44:02] <fragalot> it just walks around & mills stuff..
[12:44:17] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=11450
[12:44:22] <syyl_> yeah, but thats not what i call a serious setup :D
[12:44:54] <syyl_> in flames? :D
[12:44:54] <Loetmichel> carsten: where in germany you are from?
[12:45:13] <cpresser> Loetmichel: north of the saarland
[12:45:16] <cpresser> you?
[12:45:23] <Loetmichel> Offenbach am main
[12:45:57] <cpresser> only about 2hours to drive. i am a regular customer at 'batschkapp' in offenbach to attend metal concerts :)
[12:46:05] <Loetmichel> hihi
[12:46:33] <Loetmichel> i know that. 'cause my apprentice plays in a band there sometimes ;-)
[12:47:19] <syyl_> ah
[12:47:30] <syyl_> also got a picture of a large workpiece, different setup :P
[12:47:32] <syyl_> http://gtwr.de/fp2.jpg
[12:47:56] * Loetmichel is working at a cheap mill series. should have about 600*400*120mm travel and i want to sell it for less than 1000 eurs ready for Plug into the PC and go
[12:48:27] <fragalot> Loetmichel: Neat. What materials can it take?
[12:48:29] <Loetmichel> syyl_: what do you do in the middle of the piece?
[12:48:37] <syyl_> nothing
[12:48:39] <syyl_> :P
[12:48:43] <jthornton> what "turns on" joint mode/world mode in the view menu of Axis?
[12:48:46] <Loetmichel> fragalot: like all my mills: depends on your time
[12:49:13] <Loetmichel> even stel is possible, but only with about 1/10mm steps in z
[12:49:16] <fragalot> Loetmichel: heh.. I know mine can't do yellow copper (fixed 28k rpm 350W spindle)
[12:49:17] <syyl_> or just go over to one of the datron machines
[12:49:18] <Loetmichel> steel
[12:49:20] <syyl_> :P
[12:49:38] <Loetmichel> fragalot: jellow copper?
[12:49:57] <Loetmichel> you mean Brass?
[12:50:04] <fragalot> it's a type of brass alloy
[12:50:16] <syyl_> ah
[12:50:54] <syyl_> not like the normal, brittle brass?
[12:51:03] <fragalot> it's much harder
[12:51:05] <Loetmichel> fragalot: here a video of doing Aluminium 99,9 (o4r whatever Alfer uses for its tubes):
[12:51:23] <fragalot> iirc it's only forgeable when hot
[12:51:50] <syyl_> there are a lot of brass and copper alloys that can ruin your day :D
[12:52:19] <Loetmichel> grrr..,. searchein again
[12:53:23] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/MC/jumpjetkopterteile1.avi <- found

[12:57:16] <syyl_> oh
[12:57:18] <syyl_> ok :D
[12:57:21] <Loetmichel> but: that seems to be a normal Wood router motor
[12:57:39] <Loetmichel> you CAN use a normal "dimmer" ther
[12:57:41] <Loetmichel> there
[12:57:50] <Loetmichel> to change the speed
[12:57:52] <fragalot> Loetmichel: Yeah. Shame that it's crap though :P Need to spend some time to see if I can fix the play on the Z axis along the X-axis, and the misalignment along the Y axis in the Z direction
[12:58:08] <fragalot> Loetmichel: I thought about trying that but wasn't too sure if it'd work
[12:58:14] <Loetmichel> just have to be a one which can cope with Haloge Transformators
[12:59:59] <fragalot> I'll give that a go at some point then
[13:00:10] <fragalot> first i'd like to see it properly aligned etc
[13:00:32] <Loetmichel> fragalot: any motor with brushes can be regulated by phase angle
[13:01:11] <fragalot> the Z moves along the X axis by as much as 1mm when drilling >.<
[13:01:32] <fragalot> it's a bit much, considering it's costed me 1200 euro
[13:02:33] <cpresser> 1mm definitely is to much. does this depend on the plunge-rate while drilling?
[13:03:03] * cpresser had some issues when the touch-off-speed was to high.
[13:03:14] <fragalot> not much, no
[13:03:56] <fragalot> the minute you counter the axis' weight it moves. it just hinges on it's bearings I think... hoping to see a loose bolt or something like that when I get 'round to opening it up
[13:04:07] <fragalot> then put something under the table to tilt it a little bit so it's aligned well..
[13:04:45] <Loetmichel> fragalot: i am working on the cheap series for about 3 jears now
[13:04:52] <Loetmichel> time flies ;-)
[13:05:00] <fragalot> haha :P
[13:05:09] <fragalot> I think i've had that machine for nearly a year now

[13:06:50] <fragalot> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=8884 <= is it me, or does the top of this one look a little bit... off
[13:06:54] <Loetmichel> s/portal/gantry
[13:07:12] <fragalot> closest to you, top part looks like it's bowed a little bit
[13:07:40] <Loetmichel> yes, but that was fixed by banging on it-> ther was a segment of the walls not "clicked" into the grooves cut into the top plate

[13:22:29] <fragalot> Ooo I almost forgot I mounted a laser to my machine & haven't yet modified my breakout board for it
[13:22:34] <fragalot> ... I'll do that later xD
[13:23:08] <fragalot> Loetmichel: why squares and not trangles in that 'copter for the beams? :P
[13:23:38] <Loetmichel> squares?
[13:23:48] <Loetmichel> that are trapezoids
[13:24:01] <Loetmichel> and that wasnt one if my sharpest ideas
[13:24:28] <Loetmichel> the new ones are beck to triangles
[13:24:29] <fragalot> Loetmichel: they're square lattice beams aren't they?
[13:24:37] <Loetmichel> ah
[13:25:00] <fragalot> Exactly :p
[13:25:06] <Loetmichel> 'cause triangle tubes a not buyabele
[13:25:29] <fragalot> shame :/ it could reduce weight without altering the structural strength too much
[13:25:33] <Loetmichel> but square rubes are in every hardware store
[13:25:46] <Loetmichel> for cheap
[13:26:00] <fragalot> local stores here are crap
[13:26:02] <Loetmichel> i thoght you meant the cutouts
[13:26:12] <fragalot> even the RC shops.. most don't even stock simple servo's
[13:26:56] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=8238&g2_imageViewsIndex=1 <- THIS coutouts were to much and trapezoid
[13:27:15] <Loetmichel> one hard "landing" and the beams look like this:
[13:27:30] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=8626
[13:28:04] <Loetmichel> so i am back to this:

[13:28:39] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=11753&g2_imageViewsIndex=1
[13:28:56] <Tom_itx> temper the material after machining
[13:29:10] <Tom_itx> i bet the square tubing is pretty soft when you buy it
[13:29:31] <Loetmichel> its nearly 99,99% aluminium
[13:29:44] <Tom_itx> alum can be tempered too ya know
[13:29:49] <Loetmichel> ist soft as hell and smears on the drillbit ;-)
[13:30:06] <Tom_itx> it's "O" material
[13:30:13] <Loetmichel> Tom_itx: to much hassle for a "consumable"
[13:30:19] <Tom_itx> you need T3 or T5 etc
[13:30:23] <Tom_itx> not really
[13:30:36] <Tom_itx> they might not be so consumable if you did
[13:30:52] <fragalot> Loetmichel: Aah you buy square tubes & then cut the pattern yourself... makes sense when you said "any hardware store" now :P
[13:30:53] <Loetmichel> the beams on the copters are like the Propellers something you have in spare on the Airfield ;-)
[13:31:05] <Tom_itx> heat them up in your oven and quench them
[13:31:13] <Tom_itx> read about hardening aluminum
[13:31:15] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=11744 <- fragalot
[13:32:48] <Loetmichel> Tom_itx: 'cause at the evening after a full day of flight you WILL have some bend and broken ;-)
[13:33:11] <fragalot> Loetmichel: you might not have that if you temper them.
[13:33:31] <Loetmichel> and the good part is: the beams absorb the energy, so the electronix in the mittle stays ok
[13:33:31] <Tom_itx> he don't believe me
[13:34:10] <Loetmichel> i believe you, but its cheaper to change some 5 eur beams than a 300 eur Electronics
[13:34:11] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[13:34:26] <fragalot> for 300 euro they should be able to take a beating :P

[13:36:24] <Loetmichel> that is wha i build the hexa on the last pictures
[13:36:24] <fragalot> generally when I make electronics if the cost goes above 100 euro you should be able to throw it out of a building & have it survive :/
[13:36:43] <Loetmichel> the electronics and motos were send to me fom a frustrated friend
[13:36:49] <fragalot> that looks... fairly crappy lol
[13:36:51] <Loetmichel> that WAS an octocopter
[13:37:33] <fragalot> Loetmichel: the electronics boards look like they wuld have survived if a) they used different capacitors that aren't that tall, b) were mounted on a better casing
[13:37:36] <Loetmichel> i was able te revivive the center electronics and 7 of 8 brusless controllers
[13:37:45] <Loetmichel> so i buildt him a hexacopter
[13:38:05] <fragalot> should 've been a septacopter :P
[13:38:17] <Loetmichel> the frame broke so the Bruslesscontrollers bent
[13:38:17] <Tom_itx> and if you want to get into exotic metal treatment look into cryogenics
[13:38:24] <Loetmichel> fragalot: not possible
[13:38:40] <fragalot> Loetmichel: Sure it is. just need better firmware
[13:38:48] <Loetmichel> yopu have to have teh same count of right turning and left tuning rotors
[13:38:54] <Loetmichel> no, physics
[13:39:05] <fragalot> Aah right
[13:39:29] <fragalot> you could counter that by tilting a few in certain angles, no?

[13:48:58] <cpresser> Tom_itx: that is what i am currently seraching for...
[13:48:59] <Tom_itx> i'm not sure if it lists the acutal chemical makup of the alloys
[13:49:11] <Tom_itx> it should
[13:49:41] <syyl_> you coul also get the datasheet for your steel/alloy
[13:49:46] <Tom_itx> 6061 is a common alloy
[13:50:01] <syyl_> that normaly lists heat threating
[13:50:06] <Tom_itx> high silicon content
[13:50:19] <mozmck> What is a good laptop for linux with enough power to run VirtualBox well. The larger the screen/higher resolution the better.
[13:52:02] <Tom_itx> syyl_, steels start on P38
[13:52:55] <cpresser> found it: AW-6061 is a MgSi alloy. The EN754 name is "AlMg1SiCu"
[13:53:59] <syyl_> almg1sicu is here the more common name
[13:54:18] <cpresser> according to the 'tabellenbuch metall'
[13:54:30] <cpresser> its not the best choice for milling and turning

[13:54:43] <syyl_> the allmighty bible of the machinist :D
[13:55:09] * cpresser has three of these books :P
[13:55:11] <Tom_itx> no but it's better than some
[13:55:42] <Tom_itx> 70xx is pretty good stuff too
[13:55:45] <syyl_> i prefer free cutting alloys, with lead
[13:55:48] <Tom_itx> 75xx
[13:56:11] <syyl_> short chips, easy to machine and stong enough in most cases
[13:56:14] <mozmck> spida: development mostly. I use Eclipse a bit, which is huge and slow like most java stuff. VirtualBox with windows for some dev work I have to do.
[13:56:48] <cpresser> since i get most aluminium i mill out of other peoples junk boxes, i dont really care what alloy it is
[13:57:04] <syyl_> hehe
[13:57:11] <Tom_itx> if you found a crappy one you would
[13:57:33] <syyl_> or get something like a alumium bronce
[13:57:41] <syyl_> looks like alumium, machines like hell :D
[13:57:54] <Tom_itx> aluminum bronze?

[13:58:54] <syyl_> pretty tough bearing material
[13:59:04] <syyl_> some look like brass, some like alumium
[14:00:10] <Spida> mozmck: it helps if the cpu has virtualization support (VT), and you have neough ram for both systems simultaneuosly... if eclipse is in the deal, that most certainly means 4GB ram or more.
[14:00:58] <anonimasu> cpresser: if it's critical that you have the same throw it at a lab to analyze whatever that material is
[14:01:05] <Spida> mozmck: more cores help, too
[14:01:39] <mozmck> Spida: that helps. What about hardware support in linux? are there brands that are better? I've heard a lot of good about Lenovo, but not much linux specific
[14:03:38] <cpresser> anonimasu: if that would be critical, i would order new stuff :)
[14:03:47] <Spida> I have made good experiences with dell, too. but (a) you need to call them, and don't use the webshop. usually, if you get a competent seller on the phone (which is not that easy), he may get you up to 30% discount... and offer options that are generally NOT available like NOT buying windows. (b) buy a long on-site service package
[14:04:09] * Spida has the third display in his laptop
[14:04:31] <mozmck> third display?
[14:05:05] <Spida> mozmck: yes, the first two broke some time during warranty

[14:22:30] <cncbasher> YEA
[14:22:37] <JT-Shop> ok thanks
[14:22:45] <cncbasher> sent you an email too
[14:23:03] <cncbasher> managed to fix the speed controller on the Hardinge at last

[14:23:10] <cncbasher> yea
[14:23:18] <JT-Shop> just looking at it now
[14:23:26] <cncbasher> what a pain of a job it was too
[14:24:27] <JT-Shop> is the encoder gray code?
[14:25:06] <cncbasher> on the toolchanger , i know i'm missing the obvious , i was thinking of reading the 3 switches into bcd or reverting to a turrent number etc , or writing a modbus prog for it
[14:25:26] <JT-Shop> bcd was what I was thinking
[14:25:27] <cncbasher> yes it's grey code
[14:25:35] <cncbasher> as far as i can make out
[14:25:46] <cncbasher> see the attached pic's
[14:25:48] <JT-Shop> let me look at my CHCN a sec
[14:27:40] <JT-Shop> I used wsum and have 4 outputs from my turret encoder
[14:28:23] <cncbasher> can you mail a snip of how you did it
[14:30:42] <JT-Shop> I used the wsum to convert the bcd inputs to a station number then used classicladder to do the tool change... I'll have to make a screen shot of it then send it to you
[14:31:51] <cncbasher> ok thanks John
[14:32:03] <JT-Shop> better yet I'll send the .clp file and you can open it up with axis and look at it
[14:32:13] <cncbasher> ok
[14:32:32] <cncbasher> the guys contacted me . so he'll ring me shortly
[14:32:52] <cncbasher> easier to ask questions and point him in the right direction
[14:33:07] <cncbasher> should not take long to solve it for him
[14:37:49] <cncbasher> he's only 20 mile from me haha
[14:40:22] <JT-Shop> he can walk to your house in a couple of hours :)
[14:41:59] <cncbasher> he's ringing me in 20 mins

[15:15:37] <JT-Shop> I have that enabled on several directories

[15:28:49] <cncbasher> yes and also smbfs
[15:28:55] <JT-Shop> ok
[15:28:59] <cncbasher> if you dont already have it
[15:30:14] <JT-Shop> nope neither one is installed
[15:30:16] <JT-Shop> installing now
[15:30:28] <cncbasher> samba should give you file share across networks
[15:32:04] <JT-Shop> I had samba and can share between the 10.04 computers fine
[15:32:12] <JT-Shop> did you get my email?
[15:33:32] <cncbasher> got the hardinge clp email ok
[15:37:33] <JT-Shop> some parts will be the same
[15:38:54] <cncbasher> what are you trying to share across John , i presume youv'e shared the folders etc
[15:43:13] <JT-Shop> just trying to be able to copy and paste back and forth from the winblows computer and the lathe 10.04
[15:43:29] <JT-Shop> I've shared the folders with full sharing

[16:06:26] <cncbasher> i use solidcam too in the mix
[16:08:23] <JT-Shop> LOL, all I had to do was use the username guest with no password
[16:09:02] <cncbasher> glad ur working John
[16:09:24] <cncbasher> it's the simple things that always screw up
[16:09:32] <JT-Shop> I just kept searching on google till I found the answer
[16:09:40] <JT-Shop> just sent you another email
[16:12:51] <cncbasher> noting yet
[16:13:18] <JT-Shop> takes a while to get there I assume
[16:13:55] <cncbasher> probably flooded the lines under the atlantic
[16:14:14] <JT-Shop> so in ladder you could run the motor till you see the right tool number come back from the encoder then back up for a time then announce that the tool change is done to EMC
[16:14:19] <cncbasher> got it
[16:15:28] <JT-Shop> did you look at ArcEye's boxford toolchanger comp?
[16:16:20] <cncbasher> thaks john , yes looking at ArcEye's comp as well
[16:16:33] <JT-Shop> does his read the encoder?
[16:16:57] <JT-Shop> oh his is for a stepper drive
[16:16:58] <cncbasher> no he just uses the index and then a stepper
[16:17:18] <cncbasher> whereas mine has a dc motor , but essentialy identical hardware
[16:17:23] <JT-Shop> you don't need that complication with a motor and absolute encoder
[16:18:17] <JT-Shop> in my ladder you might notice I return tool change done if the encoder is in the right position and don't bother spinning the turret
[16:19:21] <cncbasher> yea thats probably where i'm making a easy job , more complicated
[16:20:32] <JT-Shop> all you need is the gray code comp to spit out an integer for each position
[16:21:56] <JT-Shop> hmm, yours is not gray code but some other variant

[17:12:56] <Tom_itx> archivist, did the end happen without us?
[17:12:59] <anonimasu> pcw_home: I ordered a driver board from you in friday so we'll see when it arrives
[17:13:23] <archivist> Im still waiting for teh end
[17:14:57] <Tom_itx> will irc quit if it does?
[17:15:00] <pcw_home> anonimasu did you see my message about the ic-haus interpolators? They would give you more resolution if you need it
[17:15:02] <pcw_home> also if you can read the rotor position at startup, thats all the BLDC driver needs
[17:16:21] <pcw_home> The ic-haus interpolators would also be a good choice for older Heidehaine linear sine/cos scales

[17:19:33] <tom3p> ^^^ the ic_haus chip
[17:22:01] <anonimasu> pcw_home: I found them in my supplier so i'll get thoose

[17:24:34] <pcw_home> tom3p: yes sine/cos to quadrature with x2 to x64 interpolation
[17:25:24] <tom3p> thx, are you talking about this for instance?
http://www.ichaus.de/product/iC-MN
[17:26:15] <tom3p> (dang a Spanish eng. always talked about Nonius.... have to google that weird version of interpolation up )
[17:26:17] <pcw_home> No, the ic-tw2
[17:26:21] <tom3p> k
[17:27:36] <pcw_home> nonious gives absolute position with a vernier (2 1024 quadtrature track and a 1023 vernier track for instance)
[17:28:24] <tom3p> ok, so a typ Heid had a sinus every 10um so this interps 10/2^8 that oughtta be good enuf
[17:28:59] <tom3p> thx, so the nonius is a vernier track for abso osn... (looks to find some Battery back up feature )
[17:29:09] <tom3p> p osition
[17:29:12] <pcw_home> You don t get that much accuracy (maybe 32-50 x max or so)
[17:30:47] <pcw_home> but thats a lot better than the 2.5 u a comparator --> quad converter would give you
[17:31:48] <tom3p> still, 10 / (anything near 10) gets you 1u :)
[17:34:06] <pcw_home> A little PCB with a op amp front end for 11uA Heidenhain scales would be a nice thing for retrofitters (if they dont have the original interpolator)

cncbasher has quit [Quit: Visitor from www.linuxcnc.org]
[17:36:13] <tom3p> or the newer 1vpp just to get away from sinus and back to ttl
[17:38:23] <pcw_home> Yeah a jumperable current/Voltage (90K feedback) front end would allow both
[17:41:54] <tom3p> i can send some 11ua linear scales for you to use till you're done looking at 'em
[17:42:22] <tom3p> dunno if i have any linear 1vpp. maybe rotary
[17:48:53] <pcw_home> think we have some 11 uA ones, probably not 1V

[17:51:17] <pcw_home> Dont think I'd want to ship a linear glass scale unless it was pretty darn short
[17:52:01] <JT-Shop> have to pack it in a steel case so the UPS box manglers don't break it
[17:53:17] <tom3p> i might have as short as 28, maybe 24inches and the packing case from heid is what they use to ship. if it's scragged, dont worry, just collecting dust now
[17:53:27] <tom3p> 18-24"
[17:54:21] <tom3p> question is can you use it, dont worry about the shipping
[17:55:11] <anonimasu> hm, the sin/cos resolver chips seems like they can work for that
[17:55:33] <anonimasu> I saw someone hack togther arduino code for resolver interface too
[17:57:01] <pcw_home> Well i could only use it if we decide to make up some interpolator cards
[17:57:03] <pcw_home> resolver is different as it has a AC carrier and it would be tough/impossible to generate the MHz
[17:57:05] <pcw_home> quadrature output with a uproc
[17:58:02] <anonimasu> pcw_home: I have a idea about this stuff
[17:58:05] <AC-130H> what do the good servo motor controllers include?
[17:58:25] <anonimasu> pcw_home: (my motors)
[17:58:53] <anonimasu> im gonna stick a avr with the rs485 interface to decode error signals and transfer them to pc
[17:59:10] <pcw_home> a resolver interface only needs to track 1 sine/cycle per revolution,
[17:59:12] <pcw_home> an interpolator needs to interpolate fast enough to track 1000 or so cycles per rev at reasonable speeds
[17:59:24] <anonimasu> isnt this asic stuff?
[17:59:41] <anonimasu> (to be fast enough for that)
[18:00:02] <pcw_home> Yes, thats why an arduino wont cut it

[18:03:34] <pcw_home> anonimasu The AVR would also need to read the absolute position at startup to tell EMC the rotor position
[18:04:43] <pcw_home> (the BLDC driver can keep track of it from the quadrature counts after startup )
[18:05:04] <anonimasu> pcw_home: my idea exactly
[18:05:13] <anonimasu> then transmitting that into emc but how that is supposed to work i have no clue
[18:07:24] <pcw_home> You may not need the AVR If you use HostMots2s UART
[18:28:47] <anonimasu> can I program that to read encoder status and things?
[18:37:45] <pcw_home> Should be possible but its would need a fairly complicated COMP
[18:40:01] <anonimasu> can I set up a comp and bit shift the value into emc?
[18:40:12] <anonimasu> from the avr
[18:40:21] <anonimasu> ir that bus i2c thing?
[18:40:40] <anonimasu> worstcase I'll run it in non realtime and just do it before I power on drives
[18:42:18] <pcw_home> No there a UART in hostmot2 that can do the RS-485 communication, the comp needs to load the xmit regs and read the recv regs (and set up baud rate etc)
